romney's economic hauncho, glenn hubbard, tells "outfront" that the money will come from an economy that is growing more quickly than it would under barack obama. specifically, 4% a year under mitt romney. that is nearly triple the rate of president obama's most recent quarter. and just to make it very clear, the last year in which this economy grew 4% or more was the year 2000. the tax policy center, again, this report, says, no way. i wanted to get to the bottom of it. we got five very long and detailed replies from some of the top tax attorneys, professors and economists in this country. on the key question of whether the tax cuts mitt romney promises will get the economy growing fast enough to generate all that revenue, new york university's daniel shaviro told us, quote, there really is no conceivable way that gdp growth can make a significant short-term difference to the study's finding. now, conrad dequadros says, the romney's plan is a far more efficient tax plan than our current one and cutting marginal rates and eliminating deductions would boost economic growth and raise tax r

governor romney acknowledged that today. >> i believe the economy is coming back by the way. we'll see what happens. i think it is finally coming back. >> he went on to say he thought it would come back stronger if we had a new president with different policies. how much more difficult from a communications standpoint does it make it that at least people may not feel it but at least some of the statistics are out. >> that clip shows that he has really taken a pivot on how he talks about the economy. it does get more difficult for him because he has to give the president some credit although he didn't say he gave the president some credit here, but you can't be seen to be a republican candidate and voting saying, okay, the economy is not getting better or at least not acknowledging the fact that it is getting better. you can't seem to be rooting against an improving economy, so i think he has to say what he said today, that it is getting better. i would have gotten it here a little faster and certainly i will make it get better a lot faster if you vote for me, but it is the fi

who's better able to manage the economy? barack obama is up over mitt romney by eight points in wisconsin and by about a dozen points these voters said that president obama cares more about the middle class. but what this tells you is that republicans organized at the grass roots level in the state of wisconsin. they outspent democrats by more than two to one. and when they do that, and when they organize and they have a lot of money behind them, they can win. >> gloria, thanks. dana, ari, paul, gloria, everyone stick around. we're waiting -- you see the picture on your screen, scott walker will remain the governor of wisconsin. he'll speak any moment. we'll discuss what that might mean looking ahead. we'll look at the electoral map ahead to november. the republican governor and his lieutenant governor surviving a recall election. back in a moment. all energy development comes with some risk, but proven technologies allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across ame
